Niner releases the Niner One 9

For the updated One 9. Niner has selected a newly available aluminum alloy from the 6000 series family. For those who are scandium loyalists, this may require a change in mindset but the advantages are clear. For many years the lightest alloy racing frames used round tubing. Recent advances in tubing manipulation have resulted in stronger, lighter frames through hydroforming. While a historically important material, scandium is not compliant with newly available hydroforming and production methods. When looking to produce advanced designs with a carefully tuned ride-feel, Niner decided to look for better raw material options.
